It's Monday! And if you hadn't heard, we won the Rooster Rumble match against the Midwesterners. Next we'll be competing against Rooster Speak with more details on that to come later.

As for the Minecraft Let's Play we had, let's just say that we tried three different "games" and they all ended terribly. Then we went to Sunset Overdrive and couldn't even get into a multiplayer match together. Ha! Stuff happens though. If anything, now we have some good footage for a fail Let's Play.

Speaking of video games, this Saturday is our third Drunk Gaming, named after Clayton for his, ahem, audio checks. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just checkout anywhere starting in the middle of our second session here. It'll be just like the rest of our Drunk Gaming where we will have the Xbox Live party for the games, and a live Google Hangout for fun so we can see all our stupid faces as the night gets more drunk. As always, if you would like to participate in the Google Hangout, let us know and we will send an invite when the time comes. Other details regarding the event can be found here:

Don't forget that the RWBY screenings still have tickets available, please be sure to get your before the cutoff date. If a place is sold out, ask around or let us know which showing you're going for and we'll try to put the word out for any extras.

Don't forget that the North Florida meet up is closing in in about a month. Don't let your excitement wane! Get pumped! Some would even say get... hyped (thanks Will). You can always find more details on that here, and if anyone from N Florida wants to do more meet ups, check out the forum here and maybe even start your own! (Pst! You can always bug some of the veterans of this group who have done/been to a few. Better yet, bug Will for more updates on this)

That's all we had for today. Like always, you guys are awesome, I'm glad to have met you, and I'm glad this group is [still] a thing!

As you may have noticed, the first round of Rooster Rumble against the Midwesterners was postponed due to Xbox live issues. That being said, we've rescheduled our match for this Thursday, April 14th at 7:30 pm EST. We will be playing normal game types in Halo 5 as the forge map creation ran into some issues as well (story of our lives). Plan to be on a little early to get set up.

As far as participation goes, we've had a lot of interest. To accommodate all of you fine gamers, we will ask our opponents if we can substitute in players for different rounds. If they don't wish to allow this (understandably so), then we might just need to stick to one team. If you are interested in competing, head over to the group gaming roster and fill in your information. Already filled it out!? Head back and indicate that you're interested in competing so we can get a rough head count.

Hey all, hope you had a great week and weekend. Not much happened as we mellowed down from RTICD. Hope you all have fun doing that as there will definitely be more like it in the future (maybe not only April 1st).

Coming up this week we have our rematch for Rooster Rumble against the Midwesterners. We are planning for Thursday (April 14th) playing some Halo 5 with some regular game types. Keep a look out for more updates later this week and we look forward to seeing you out there to represent RT Florida!

Then later this weekend we have a Minecraft Let's Play hosted by one of our own. If you have capture capability, we would appreciate if you would record if you want to play. Chances are afterwards will also lead to other games too, as per our usual nights. See more details here:

So Round 1 of Rooster Rumble is upon us and our opponents, the Midwesterners, have challenged us to a few rounds in Halo 5. To make it a little more interesting, they have proposed we have a 5 round match consisting of two challenge maps from each community potentially culminating in a final round of a normal Halo 5 game type. These challenge maps can consist of anything from races, assassination battles, king of the hill, etc. They can either be custom made game types or forge map challenges (think HORSE, but more like HO... wait, no... think PIG, but more like PI... there we go).

My thought is that we can have a little competition among our community for whose maps/game types we'll use. If you would like, spend this week making a map and then we can pick our favorite ones on Friday. Do keep in mind while you make these that you would not be able to participate in that round due to an unfair advantage you would have as the creator. Also, when making these maps, remember we don't want it to take all night, so create something that can be completed in a reasonable amount of time (remember the long hours Jack and Geoff spent on HORSE!?). If you have any questions in regard to creating a challenge, feel free to message me (@WB_Spartan) or Victoria (@ArnettV).

That being said, lets talk scheduling. It looks like the best time for the Midwesterners is Saturday April 9th after about 6pm. Looking at the RT Florida Gaming Roster, we have a lot of availability at that time. For the time being, lets plan on holding the match at 6pm Saturday, April 9th.

Check out the new forum below for discussions on map creation, scheduling, and participation in round 1.

Thirteen years. Thirteen years! It's been thirteen goddamn years and we all still love these people so much. And to show our love, a bunch of events have been put together across the community- scratch that, across the world! And we were glad to have been a part of it.

As I'm sure you've heard me talking about over the past month, A new group, Rooster Teeth International Community Day, was formed for the sole purpose of bringing together all the fans on Rooster Teeth's anniversary for a bunch of fun, silliness, excitement, and general enjoyment. So of course, we chipped in our fair share and brought you some great events this weekend. Later this afternoon starting at 6 PM EST, we will be hosting a game night on Xbox One featuring Minecraft, GTA V, and Halo 5. Then tomorrow, we have our RT anniversary meet up in Orlando at Firkin and Kegler by Waterford. You can see more on our events page here. If you haven't been to any of our meet ups before, they're a blast, people have fun, and we only sometimes break stuff. But we always have fun. We're looking forward to seeing old faces, and new. And whether you've been to all our events, or not a single one, we'll welcome you with open arms, because that's what this community is about. That's what this entire weekend is about. Celebrating the company as a whole, who they are- come and gone, the work they've done, and you, the fans, who love them because of all of these reasons plus more!

Look forward to seeing you out there this weekend, and I want to give a big thank you to Tasha from RT Maine for helping starting RTICD. The community groups may of come together to make it happen, but without Tasha's view, her desire to see this happen, I don't think we would've gotten this far without her. Cheers!

Not too much new on the update front. It's pretty much been decided that if we ever do an On the Spot: RT Florida Edition, then Ricky would definitely be the host. Oh, and we're having a mini-meet up in Orlando at Lazy Moon. Apparently they have these giant ass pizzas and it'll be fun!

This week is RT's 13th anniversary and, if you've been living under a rock (or are a rock), theRooster Teeth International Community Day group was founded to bring all the communities together to do some fun stuff for the weekend. RT Florida is having a game sessions Friday and meet up Saturday. Fun stuff, find more details on those (and tonight's mini-meet up) on our Facebook event page here:

Rooster Rumble tourney is around the corner! Be prepared for that April 3rd - 17th. If you would like to participate, please be sure to mark your information down in our gaming roster below so we can come together to show to RT community how we kick ass!

Just so you guys don't forget, there are the RWBY Volume 1 Tugg Screenings. We've listed the Florida locations here, and are even giving away tickets to the Orlando showing on our Twitterlater this week. Follow us there for updates on that. Also, it's pretty much been decided that the after party for the screenings will be karaoke. We're still looking for a location off site from City Walk (due to age restrictions), so if you know a place near I-Drive in Orlando, let us know!

What else, what else? Um... How is everyone's day going?

Also, we won't stop cramming this down your throat until it's done, so here it is again, you're weekly-ish reminder about the N RT Florida meet up. See our previous post for more info and voice your opinion! No reason, really except because we're awesome.

That's really all we have. You guys are wonderful and make this group what we are. $10 gift card to the RT store if you can tell us you're favorite part of RT Florida. We'll announce a winner Friday!

After another awesome meetup in Orlando, were one week closer to the first North RT Florida meetup! Looking through the questionnaire, more people seem to be available on the weekend of May 20th and are wanting to meet up in Jacksonville. With that we have a few more things to consider for this awesome event.

In the past, most of our meetups have been on a Sunday, but I want to make sure we pick a day that works for most of us. If you have a preference on having the meetup on either Saturday, May 21st or Sunday, May 22nd, post it in the comments.

At the moment, we're looking at holding the meetup at the Dave & Busters. It's a great place to eat, drink, play some games, and socialize with your fellow RT fans! If you're from the area and know a great place, let us know in the comments.

Any questions, concerns, thoughts about your march madness bracket, excitement for more FLCL, or general HYPE? Feel free to message me (@WB_Spartan).

The meet up this past Sunday at Whirly Dome was great, lots of new faces, good times, and breaking of games. That's right, we broke a carts in one of the whirly ball courts, well, one of us in particular. You know who you are... Lazer tag of course went great too. What could be better than a bunch of online gamers who play FPS, to meet in the real world and play an FPS course. Definitely need to do this again.

We got some great footage that will be posted soon, some nice on court and in game videos as well as pictures and other great content to show you guys!

Next up are our events for Rooster Teeth's 13th anniversary. Friday, April 1st, we will be hosting an online game session (no not a Drunk Gaming, this will be later in the month). To decide what game(s) we'll be playing that afternoon, please be sure to take our poll here to add your input! Then our meet up Saturday, April 2nd, where we are zeroing in on our location for this. The meet up location will definitely be in Orlando, we're just waiting to hear back from one location, following up with another, and then we'll put it to a vote with you guys to finally decide. Since RT's anniversary is a week and a half away, this vote will be later this week on our Twitter.

If you have a video of you and your friends having fun, wearing merch, or anything else RT related that's totally awesome from the community, see their most recent post to possibly get it into a complication video! There is also the RTICD Twitter with frequent updates and information on what to expect from the community.

Also, don't forget about the new season of Rooster Rumble that starts April 3rd! See Will's previous post on what to expect and where to sign up!

And of course, don't forget about about the RWBY Tugg Screenings April 27th. We have listed all of the Florida showings on our Facebook group events page hereand intend on having another one of our amazing after parties post Orlando screening. Karaoke has been requested so prepare to drink and sing horribly with the rest of your fellow members because it's happening.

Rooster Rumble is upon us and the bracket has been finalized! While we were assured the placement was totally random, we're secretly relieved we're not the 16th seed (sorry, not sorry RvBTX). Here is the full bracket.

The first round is scheduled to be played anytime between April 3rd and April 17th with the game TBD. Like we did with the previous Rooster Rumble, we'll use a group forum and the group gaming spreadsheet to schedule when we are all available to play. However, now that the community has grown (which is freaking awesome!), we'll need to decide who will be participating in each round. If you haven't already, head over to the group gaming doc and fill out your information.

Okay, so maybe the uncontrollable excitement is external too, but we're excited to relay the message about RWBY Volume 1 being hosted by Tugg in theaters across the world! You can find a screening near you on their new site here:

While they aren't allowing for self-hosted events like they did for Lazer Team, but you can request Rooster Teeth to add one near you for their Volume 2 screening coming soon. Side note: they'll also be doing Volume 3. I cannot wait to see everyone's reactions to the finale in person! You can find where to voice your demand for Volume 2's location under the event list on their site here:

As another side note: we're hosting an event at the Orlando screening. Like last time, there will be fun gatherings beforehand, the movie itself, a give away after the movie, and an after party just as there was for Lazer Team.

This will be held at the one in Orlando at City Walk again, however, if you cannot make it to this one, feel free to host your own meet up at your own location. We'll help you set it up with some fun times, and maybe even some free stuff to give away! Contact us if you would like to host an RT Florida meet up for this event near you!

There's a lot going on with this at the moment so we apologize if this is a bit short for now, but we will be following up with more information about our RT Florida RWBY Screening Event at Universal as we get closer to the event.
